Do You Have What It Takes to Be a VA?
If you have any previous administrative experience, working from home as a virtual assistant seems like an easy way to end the daily commute to your job outside the home. However, just because you have the knowledge, skills and abilities in virtual assisting, does not automatically mean you have what it takes to be a VA.
Before you consider starting a virtual
assistant business you need to determine if you are disciplined to work hard
without a boss looking over your shoulder. If you're the type who is easily
distracted, unfocused and disorganized then becoming a virtual assistant may not
be for you.
There are a number of areas to seriously consider before you
hang a shingle and call yourself a VA. Can you make a schedule and stick to it?
Can you meet all deadlines? Do you have a screaming baby or a barking dog that
would interfere with needed phone calls?
You will be responsible for the
marketing, accounting, and all operations of the business. Do you have the
personality or drive to promote yourself; to let others know about your
services? Jobs will not simply fall into your lap. Competition is
keen.
Are you prepared to initially work long hours and multiple jobs
simultaneously? Will your household survive the potential loss of income as you
start your VA business?
Do you have a specialized niche? Do you enjoy
article submissions, search engine optimization, presentation creation,
accounting, or web design? You should not try to be all things to all people.
Determine your best skills; then promote those services to the target market who
will most benefit.
While starting a virtual assistant business requires
a much smaller financial investment than some other businesses, there are still
expenses. You must have a reliable computer and the ability to use the telephone
at the same time you're online. You'll also need a decent printer and a fax
machine.
Run your business like a business. Every VA should have a
website which highlights skills and services. If you don't have the skills or
money to have a professionally designed website, you better start saving or
learning. A less than professional website will absolutely hurt your business -
guaranteed.
Do you have what it takes to be a virtual assistant? If you
have the skills, the personality or drive and some available funding – you just
very well may have what it takes to be a great VA. Follow your
dreams!
About the Author: Nell Taliercio and Jennifer Houck grew successful virtual assistant businesses quickly and are showing you how to do the same thing in their complete How to Become a VA course.

Your Advertising Dollar, Getting the Most Bang for your Buck by Tammy DePew Smith
Reaching your ideal customers with the right message, in the right place, at the right time is very important for stretching available ad dollars. Proper marketing research, and planning, will allow you to reach your prospects wherever they happen to be and when they are in a receptive frame of mind for your product or service. Basically, this means that you put your advertisement where your target audience can’t miss it. Whether you sponsor a Little League Team, purchase a radio spot on a popular rock and roll station, or advertise in this family targeted magazine, you should choose the right place and time for your advertising.
Choosing just the right advertising venue to reach your targeted prospects can be tricky. I’ve included four questions to help you evaluate your options. Be sure that you answer “yes” to one or more of the questions.
1) Location, Location, Location! This is true in real estate transactions, and in an effective marketing campaign. Does the location target your best prospects? Are your prospects mothers with young children? Then an advertisement in a family based publication is a good investment. Are you looking to reach individuals without health insurance? Leave brochures and flyers in dentist’s and doctor’s offices. Do extensive research on your target audience. Know where your best prospects are likely to be to see your ad.
2) Is your ad reaching your potential prospect at the exact moment they are receptive to your product or service? When would you be more receptive to an organic sleep aid, while driving down the interstate or while watching late night talk shows because you can’t fall asleep? The point is that your prospects will require different products and services depending on the occasion. This is sometimes called “occasion segmentation.”
3) Is the location appropriate for your company’s message? When conducting your research for advertising options, make sure any location you choose matches the theme of your overall marketing plan. For example, if your business sells homemade, gooey, calorie-laden brownies, then a poster in a health club might not be the best investment of your advertising dollars. Even if the patrons of the health club match the demographics of your target audience, the message isn’t compatible with the location.
4) Is your advertisement creating community goodwill? Some types of location advertising can do wonders for your company’s image. Sponsoring community events, Little League Teams, or even nature trails in a local park can boost your company’s image as a good citizen of the community. A good example of using sponsorship as a form of advertising – a lovely playground in this area was built with the generous donations of many local businesses. As a “thank you” the names of these businesses were engraved on plaques that are now affixed to the playground equipment. How many individuals have read these plaques while watching their children enjoy themselves at the playground? This type of goodwill is priceless.
By doing your research and discovering your target audience’s preferences and locations you can choose one of the above advertising choices, or a mix of several, to achieve your marketing goals, and get the most “bang for your buck.”
